Hand and glove

If you are the jumper then I am the wool,

and if you were the wardrobe I'd be the nails.

If I were a lampshade, you'd be the bulb

and if I were a curtain, you'd be the rail.

If my life were a race you'd be the finish line,

or if it was a pumpkin seed you're the sunshine.

If my love were a paperback you'd be on the cover

and if it were a mobile you'd supply the credit.

If your death was merely sleeping I'd beĀ  your dream lover

and if your dying was a parachute opening

then I'd be the warm spiralling air current.

A fun read... My favourite lines:
'If my love were a paperback you'd be on the cover'

'If your death was merely sleeping I'd be your dream lover'

'if your dying was a parachute opening
then I'd be the warm spiralling air current.'

two songs pop into mine, "hand in Glove" by The Smiths which will be in my head all day now (ha!) and "If..." by The Divine Comedy - it has a very similar way, lines such as "If you were a dog, i 'd feed you scraps from off my table...and if you were a horse, I'd clean the crap out of your stable..." ahh, love is Neil Hannon! Beautiful man! ahem, this poem has some really beautiful "ifs" and I love the ending.

just reviving an old one in the "love is" theme.
